Thanks to a Cinderella-story of a Fantasy Football season I'm going to have a few hundred dollars of genuine "mad money" to buy a second Uke with.
I currently play a nice, beginners Kala Concert that I really like but would like to get a Tenor and of higher quality that I can amplify through my Line6 Amplifier.
(Bit of background, i bought an Eleuke, which is a hoot to make noise with, but I just don't enjoy playing it as much as an acoustic uke. The Eleuke is for sale)
I'm still a relative beginner, only been playing since since March, but I'm a good Chord strummer and play regularly with uke and Guitar playing friends as well as twice a month in my local Uke Club.
So I'd love to add a second uke to the stable and want to make sure I spend my money wisely. I'm quite enamored with the RipTide by Boulder Creek.. From Uke Republic...
I did some searching but most of the recommendation threads seem to be for entry level ($100±) ukes.
Thoughts? Recomendations?

RipTide by Boulder Creek
All Standard Mahogany Series feature Mahogany tops, backs, and sides for the traditional ukulele look and tonal characteristics. The exclusive "Dual Port System" projects the sound to both the audience and the player. Moving the front sound port away from the center of the soundboard helps to increase volume, tone, and sustain on all Boulder Creek ukuleles. Die cast tuning machines and perfect fret leveling make them stay in tune and play easier than ukes costing much more.
